Cestrum 'Orange Peel'

Orange Peel Willow-leaf Jessamine

This superb and easy-to-grow introduction from the former Southern Perennials and Herbs Nursery is a cross of Cestrum diurnum x Cestrum nocturnum. For us, this superb selection has been both floriferous and winter hardy. The fast-growing woody stems are clothed in ligustrum-shaped, deer-resistant leaves and adorned from early June until frost with terminal clusters of mustard-orange (RHS 25B) flowers tipped in yellow...a hummingbird delight. When winters drop into the single digits, Cestrum 'Orange Peel' behaves as a dieback perennial that returns in spring to reach 8' tall x 8' wide by fall. Don't slip up and miss growing Cestrum 'Orange Peel'!
